Sunset Cookies
Also known as: Sunset Sherbet x GMO
Overview
Sunset Cookies is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the renowned Sunset Sherbet with GMO Cookies strains. This distinguished genetic lineage combines the fruity and sweet attributes of Sunset Sherbet with the potent, earthy characteristics of GMO Cookies, resulting in a strain that showcases vibrant coloration and complex flavor profiles. The strain has gained significant attention in cannabis research and among consumers for its balanced effects and therapeutic potential.
When properly cultivated, Sunset Cookies produces round, spade-shaped buds that are mint green with dark purple undertones, often displaying more pronounced purple highlights or being entirely purple in some phenotypes. The buds feature long orange pistils characteristic of its cookie lineage, while crystal glandular trichomes create a unique and visually striking appearance. The strain's robust structure and dense resin production make it particularly appealing to both recreational users and those interested in extraction.
Known for its super sweet and fruity cherry berry flavor with sour citrusy overtones accented by touches of nutty cookies, Sunset Cookies delivers an aromatic profile reminiscent of freshly baked citrus cookies with hints of fresh sour fruits and berries. Its complex terpene profile, dominated by limonene with supporting myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene, contributes to both its distinctive aroma and therapeutic effects, making it a standout strain in the cannabis community.

Growing Information
Sunset Cookies is considered moderately easy to cultivate and suitable for growers of various skill levels. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in September when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce approximately 400-500 grams per plant. The plants grow to medium height, reaching 100-120 cm indoors and up to 170 cm outdoors. These fast-growing plants require moderate to high nutrient levels to reach their full potential, being particularly nutrient-hungry during the flowering phase with increased needs for phosphorus and potassium. The strain responds well to training techniques like LST (Low Stress Training) and SCROG methods, and benefits from strong ventilation to prevent moisture buildup around dense buds.
